UniProt Summary
FUNCTION: SwissProt: Q92911 # Mediates iodide uptake in the thyroid gland. SIZE: 643 amino acids; 68666 Da SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expression is primarily in thyroid tissue, but also to a lower extent in mammary gland and ovary. Expression is reduced in tumors. DISEASE: SwissProt: Q92911 # Defects in SLC5A5 are the cause of iodide transport defect (ITD) [MIM:274400]. ITD is characterized by an inability of the thyroid to maintain a concentration difference of readily exchangeable iodine between the plasma and the thyroid gland. It is a cause of congenital hypothyroidism. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q92911 ## Belongs to the sodium:solute symporter (SSF) (TC 2.A.21) family.
